Friday Favorites: a trip to London, an accessible board game, and more

Every Friday, Google Moderators highlight the best posts they found during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, a trip to London, an accessible board game, and more.

@KlaudiyaG : Food is a passion of mine. Not that I’m an amazing chef or anything, it’s just that I love eating it. A well-known saying among chefs is, “You eat with your eyes first.” So, I invite you all to a delicious eye feast. @ChanneLing 's post “3 Great Brunch Spots to Start A Day in San Francisco” is full of exquisite photos of incredible dishes which made my mouth water. I chose to highlight this great post not only because my favorite meal of the day is brunch, but also because of the way she described every restaurant. If one day I get the chance to visit San Francisco, USA, I’ll definitely stop at those brunch spots.

@RadieN : Since the Year of the Metal Rat is already here, I wanted to bring to your attention the wonderful celebration of the Lunar New Year in Parit Buntar, Malaysia. In his post, “CNY 2020 celebration in my City,” @OmerAli presents the most colorful aspects of the festival: the spectacular fireworks, bright lights, beautiful red lantern decorations, and mesmerizing drum performance. This post is part of the “#CNYInMyCity worldwide challenge” started by @MariaNgo . No matter if you celebrate the Lunar New Year or not, Omer’s post will definitely make you smile and feel the festive mood.

@Deskata : Many cultural products, like games, remain inaccessible to people with disabilities. One enlightening post stood out to me this week. Local Guide @Jesi introduced one inclusive board game in her post “Accessibility Uncovered :wheelchair: : Inclusive Board Games - Checkers.” She wrote about an adapted version of the popular game of checkers which is played with round pieces on a special two-colored board. This version is very suitable for people with visual impairment who can enjoy an effortless game. This February, the team behind the #OneAccesibility initiative will talk about inclusive board games, so make sure to support them by following their content.

@Bobiisha : My choice this week is the post “Um final de semana em Londres” by @ItzPirk . It’s about the Local Guide’s trip to London. What I liked about the post is that it’s very well structured and full of useful information. @ItzPirk has even given travel tips on how to get to certain tourist locations that are worth visiting. I’d personally like to go on the London Eye, so I really appreciated his tip on buying a ticket online because it’s cheaper. If you’ve never been to London and are wondering what to see there, you can refer to this post.
